Chapter four hundred and ninety seventh wonderful array
"唳~"
In the early morning, the loud cries of eagles resounded through the sky, and a huge goshawk hovered over Huai County, overlooking this small city.
Outside the city of Huai County, soldiers in black armor formed an array. Standing on the top of the city, a quick glance revealed that the dark military formation had no commotion except for the occasional long neigh of war horses.
The auras of thousands of troops and horses are connected together. Although the battle has not started yet, the oncoming pressure is suffocating.
Aerial ladders, rushing cars, Jing Huan are like ferocious war beasts, lying silently on the ground, blending into the surrounding soldiers, as if the next moment, they will open their bloody mouth and devour
everything.
On the tower, some people shivered unconsciously. It was the first time they truly faced the Chu army's formation. Those who have not experienced it will never be able to understand the sense of oppression honed through hundreds of battles.
Chunyu Qiong came to the city with several lieutenants and silently watched the enemy's formation. This general who had become active during the Zhongping period could better understand the terror of this army.
Although the Jizhou Army had held a contemptuous attitude toward Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and now Chu Nan for a long time, only now could they feel the sense of oppression when they actually faced the enemy's formation.
How did the enemy set up this formation?
Chunyu Qiong searched for a long time but could not find the enemy's command flag. Finally, he saw the enemy's command flag in the enemy's rear formation. This meant that he had good eyesight and ordinary generals might not be able to find the opponent's command flag.
Chunyu Qiong: "..."
If you have an elite cavalry in your hands at this time, you must...
While the thought was still lingering, Chunyu Qiong suddenly paused. He saw two cavalrymen of about two thousand men flanking the opponent's commander's flag. In addition, there was also a group of infantry. They were not many in number, but they looked quite elite at first glance.
The opponent's general must be afraid of death!
The thought flashed through Chunyu Qiong's mind. Even with this arrangement, even with cavalry, it would be difficult to surprise the opponent's commander's flag.
But...how does he direct it?
Generally, the commander's flag is set up in the middle army, not only because it is the safest there, but also because it is convenient for commanding the four armies in combat. If it is at the rear, if there is a surprise attack, it can respond immediately, but it will not be able to command the troops in the front.
The ability will definitely be weakened, that's for sure.
The opponent's method of arranging troops is tantamount to giving up their own offensive power and strengthening the protection of the coach, but you are the attacker!
Chunyu Qiong didn't understand the other party's brain circuit for a long time.
At the position of the central army, Yu Jin looked at Huang Zhong, then at Xu Huang and Li Tong, coughed slightly, and didn't quite understand why Chu Nan, as the head coach, would hand over the command to him, and turned to look at Huang Zhong.
"The general will tell you what he has to say. My lord has said that the general will be fully responsible for this battle. The last general will definitely obey the order!" Huang Zhong saw that Yu Jin had glanced at him several times, and said in a muffled voice with his fists clasped.
"General Han Sheng suppressed the enemy's city with an arrow formation. Later, he gave the order to release arrows immediately to assist the other two groups of troops to advance. Okay?" Yu Jin said very politely. There was no other way. Huang Zhong belonged to Chu Nan.
His confidant has a higher official position than him and a stronger military force than him. He is a subordinate and has taken on the position of rich commander in the first battle. He really can't let it go, and he doesn't know how to command this powerful general.
"Here!" To Yu Jin's expectation, Huang Zhong didn't hesitate at all, and immediately agreed, riding his horse to the position where his three thousand archers were, which was equivalent to Jin's order to attack.
Phew~
Seeing Huang Zhong leave, Yu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Not only because of his identity, but also because of Huang Zhong's oppressive feeling of being a peerless general, Yu Jin felt depressed. Perhaps this was also a threat given to him by the other party.
But as long as he can obey orders and act, Yu Jin still has some confidence in commanding this battle.
"Gongming, you lead five thousand soldiers and horses to attack Dongmen Yang. Wenda, you will be responsible for the main attack in this battle. My Lord, the purpose of this battle is to improve the cooperation of all armies. Therefore, in this battle, you will be responsible for supervising the battle on the front line, and I will take command.
If the enemy general doesn't take action, you shouldn't take action either." Yu Jin looked at Li Tong and said with a smile.
Yu Jin probably knew Chu Nan's thoughts in fighting this battle. Although Chu Nan adopted a policy of elite troops, the army expansion in the past two years has been too great, and new soldiers, surrendered troops, and veterans are all mixed together. Without running-in, no matter how elite they are,
They were just a mixture of several soldiers and horses, and they were not truly elite soldiers. Only after being tested by war and having a tacit understanding of cooperation between the soldiers could they be truly elite.
"Here!" Li Tong agreed.
"Sound the horn, attack the city!" Yu Jin's arrangements were completed, and he immediately ordered the horn to attack. The army in front began to surround the chariots, wells, and ladders to slowly push towards the city wall.
It seems a bit scattered, but in fact, there are very few spectacular scenes like swarming in siege battles. Ant-based sieges are the most costly. Unless it is a decisive battle, siege equipment is usually the core, and the army surrounds the siege.
The siege equipment will be launched around the city, and the formation will be relatively loose, in order to reduce the lethality of the opponent's arrow rain.
In the direction of the rear formation, Chu Nan silently watched the army begin to attack the city. Through the eyes of the goshawk, he saw a more comprehensive scene.
While Yu Jin was attacking the city, Xu Huang also launched an attack on the east gate. However, the defenders were obviously aware of this idea and were not fooled. They only allocated a small number of troops to assist the east gate.
The main army has not been mobilized and is still on standby.
"My lord seems to be very optimistic about this forbidden general." Liu Ye stood beside Chu Nan's carriage and watched the battle with Chu Nan. Looking at the battle ahead, it was relatively relaxed here.
"He is the only one beside me who can command these 30,000 troops." Chu Nan shook his head and said: "Han Sheng can also do it, but he is a general, not a handsome man. Sometimes, he is easy to be impulsive."
Nowadays, there are actually many generals under the command of Chu Nan. Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Wei Yan, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Ji Ling, Li Tong, and Lu Qian are all good generals, but they can really command the generals.
From the three armies, these people must be cut at least in half.
Huang Zhong can also be half a handsome guy, with the ability to stand alone, and even in some cases, can hit critical hits, but from a handsome point of view, he is still worse than Yu Jin.
"My lord is also a rare handsome man." Liu Ye said with a smile.
"Me?" Chu Nan looked at Liu Ye: "Zi Yang is serious?"
"My lord once defeated Jianghuai alone. The battle of Runan was also fought by my lord. Later, Taishan and the remnants of Cao's army were defeated by my lord." Liu Ye looked at Chu Nan and said with some confusion: "Everyone believes in my lord.
,Why does the master not have much confidence in himself?"
"Have you ever seen me command by myself? With Wen Chang and powerful generals like Han Sheng by my side, I can fight like that. Give me some generals and see if I can still fight like that? Can I win?
, Firstly, the soldiers under my command are dedicated to their lives, and secondly, I am good at adapting." Chu Nan shook his head and smiled.
"Adaptation?" Liu Ye looked at Chu Nan.
"Well, if I can't defeat him head-on, I can use any means to make the enemy general angry, or alienate the enemy general, or use some means outside the battlefield. Or, if the enemy general is not smart enough, I can trick him into making friends with me, like
Yuan Tan, until now, we both treat each other as brothers, many brothers have many paths." Chu Nan briefly shared his experience in the war with Liu Ye.
Brother, is this the way to go?
Liu Ye observed a moment of silence for Chu Nan's best friend.
"In terms of commander-in-chief, I can probably command a thousand people now. If I exceed this number, I will not be able to do it. If I were to be the commander-in-chief in this battle, I would be about the same as Sun Quan." Chu Nan is very self-aware, and he can now use the secret function of the wind character.
It works completely on thousands of people, and can even be used in combination with the Fengzi secret and the Hidden character secret during the march.
"So, my lord is the real commander." Liu Ye said with a smile: "A commander is not a general, but a general! Being able to know people and make good use of them is what a commander should do. Fighting with soldiers and charging into battle is what a general is.
What needs to be done.”
"When it comes to commanders, Cao Cao is the real commander." Chu Nan said with emotion. Cao Cao is the only commander Chu Nan has seen so far who can create a whole world from his general camp.
Lu Bu was destructive, but for him to display such a level of command was simply to embarrass his father-in-law.
"But my lord, this is enough." Liu Ye said with a smile.
Looking at Cao Cao, there are probably not many monarchs who can command troops and control generals, let alone today.
In Liu Ye's opinion, a person like Chu Nan who can clearly define himself, know how to use others well, and manage his generals clearly, so that their generals can kill him, is the real talent.
As for Sun Quan, he obviously didn't see his position clearly. He didn't have the ability to rush forward. He deserved to be defeated in the end. If Sun Quan was like Chu Nan now, sitting in the rear and commanding the generals of the battalions to attack, how could he have ended up like this?
After such a shameful end, he might still have a good reputation now. Even if Chu Nan had regained his composure and sent reinforcements to fight back, and was forced to withdraw from Jianghuai, he would not have left in such an embarrassing state, and was even almost left there by Lu Lingqi.
.
They seem similar, but in fact they are much different.
"It's not enough!" Chu Nan sighed. Who doesn't want to change the color of the world with a wave of his hand? He now has all the hardware of Cao Cao, even more than it, but the software can't keep up. As a commander, who doesn't want to
He strategizes, and with a wave of his hand, thousands of troops and horses fight for him.
It's a pity that conditions don't allow it.
"Buzz~"
While he was talking, Huang Zhong had already opened fire over there. Three thousand arrow clusters fell towards the city head like meteorites. A green energy shield emerged on the city head, blocking the wave of arrows, although many of them still broke through.
Green Qi shield, but its power is no different from ordinary arrow clusters, and it is difficult to effectively attack the defenders.
On the top of the city, Chun Yuqiong had already begun to command the soldiers to fire arrows. Sharp arrows shot through the air and poured down. With the blessing of the battle formation, even though the power was far less than Huang Zhong's arrow formation, there were still two wells.
